Forgive me if this isn't the right spot to post this sort of question.
I've been browsing the internet looking for some nice community to join, and see a lot of them are “hermitcraft inspired” servers.
I google hermitcraft and see it's a YouTube channel thing with tons of episodes, but what is it, exactly? When someone says their server is hermitcraft-inspired, what could i be expecting to get into? I've seen a few hermitcraft videos and it just seems like they're building a huge city.
It's short-hand for a (usually) whitelisted survival-style server where the aspiration is that players interact (and may perhaps also record for YouTube channels). This is to contrast with public, anonymous, non-whitelisted servers where players may not get to know each other that well.
The server I play on definitely falls into the “hermitcraft inspired” rule set. I think it makes playing with other people a little more fun, slightly competitive, and overall adds a really interesting depth to the game.
